Pat, much success to you and your son! I guess you've figured out how you're going to stay busy upon retirement.

A couple of thoughts. I think each performer will need a profile, if nothing else as a place to put links to their SoundCloud, Soundclick, CD Baby, Facebook, YouTube and ectera accounts. There also needs to be a way to e-mail the performer for requests, etc.

Forums are important. I think two forum groups with one for communication between performers (for advice, collaboration and support) and a seperate forum for audience. Both forums should be able to access you.

Audience mailing list to update on site improvements and new performaces.

Finally, there needs to be a way for casual audience members to look for unknown performers they may like. I can think of two ways: audience ratings and classing every performance by music genre and sub-genre. The issue is who does the performance classification. For instance what I call beach music you may call as oldies or classic rock.
